Abstract

ABSTRACT Populism raises questions about the extent to which public opinion should be a legitimate foundation for executive power. In the United States, it is often thought, such a foundation was established at the beginning of the twentieth century through the creation of a newly “representative” modern presidency (one that enabled the president to represent the popular will). This new presidency, it is held, acts as an agent of populist majorities to undermine constitutional and legal norms. In fact, however, the argument for presidential representation is a long-standing element of politics in the United States. It is appealed to, recurrently, by what might be called the party of opinion against its natural opponent, the party of law.

民粹主义与总统代表制

民粹主义提出了一个问题，即公众舆论在多大程度上应该成为行政权力的合法基础。人们通常认为，在美国，这样一个基础是在20世纪初通过创建一个新的“代表性”现代总统（使总统能够代表民意）而建立的。本届新总统被认为是民粹主义多数派的代理人，破坏宪法和法律规范。然而，事实上，总统代表权的争论是美国政治的一个长期因素。它经常被称为反对其自然对手法律党的意见党所吸引。

期刊介绍： Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society is a political-science journal dedicated to advancing political theory with an epistemological bent. Recurrent questions discussed in our pages include: How can political actors know what they need to know to effect positive social change? What are the sources of political actors’ beliefs? Are these sources reliable? Critical Review is the only journal in which the ideational determinants of political behavior are investigated empirically as well as being assessed for their normative implications. Thus, while normative political theorists are the main contributors to Critical Review, we also publish scholarship on the realities of public opinion, the media, technocratic decision making, ideological reasoning, and other empirical phenomena.
